Re: Medicare
Just curious...why?
Correct!
Yep, I mentioned it was a negotiated price! And I don't have a problem with that OR that I had a $5. co-pay. I don't like that the gov't uses my $5 co-pay against me by applying it to my yearly maximum. Let 'em apply what they pay! As I mentioned before, I feel like I'm paying twice.
Yes, I have part D. Is there an online drug formulary for your plan? It would be interesting to see if any of my 3 meds are on it. They aren't on any other plan. Still, I'd rather jump thru hoops with the drug situation then lose my current doctors and start anew by switching to plan C.
Ditto for me...altho' I haven't been on Medicare long enough to get an annual total. Next year!
Agreed...on both counts! I had HMSA for at least 27 years so this switch to Medicare is a big change. It's the old dog/new tricks thingie!
Because I was having separation anxiety from HMSA, I overlapped it for one month with Medicare. I moved my eye exam up from Nov. to Aug. and scheduled anything else I could during Aug. Plus I ended up sick on my first day with Medicare coverage and needed 2 ultrasounds. I had no out of pocket medical expenses for August because of the overlap! When I received the statement of benefits from Medicare I noticed the 2 ultrasounds totalled approx. $1300. My co-pay was $20. per ultrasound which HMSA paid. Pheeeeeew!!!
Sorry I didn't answer this earlier. Pharmacies have to be on Medicare's provider list and Medicare recipients are provided a directory. Most pharmacies, as far as I can tell, participate.
